I am a responsible guy looking for a woman that is right for me. I know myself to be responsible, optimistic, introspective, careful, loyal, reliable, and have an even temper. I try hard to keep things in perspective and value humor. I am active and love to run, swim, hike, build things, read, travel, and more (ask me), and I take good care of myself. I think life is short so I try to use my time wisely. I do not need a woman to clean or cook for me as I am already very good at this. If she enjoys cooking or wants to share tasks, that is great. With the right woman I would love to create a happy family. It is great if she already has children and I would love them the same as if they were my own. Children are the best of life. I would like to find a woman who shares this view.
